Dennis Ferrer speaks to Resident Advisor about his recent appearance as RA X at Panorama Bar, Berlin on October 14.

“Panorama Bar is always an adventure. You just never know what is going to happen there. Sometimes it’s just a regular night where people are rocking and having a good time, and sometimes you have bricks thrown at you.

[Being the X] is about you when someone finds out that it is you. But what if no one there knows who you are? It brings you back to when you were struggling trying to make a name for yourself. It also introduces you to an audience without prejudice, which is cool. The people asking who the fuck I am is a new audience without prejudice and [they judge you] based on what you play, which was great. At least they didn’t boo me off the fucking stage! That’s always a good thing, you know? I think everybody was quite surprised about who the X was.”
